*In the woods late that same night.
“Got one!” The little boy said as he caught a firefly in his jar. He’s sister ran up to him, “What are you doing? You’re supposed to poke holes on the lid. Otherwise you’ll kill them.”She said to her little brother. He looked at her sadly, “Do I have to let him go?” he asked her. She sighed, “Do you want him to die?” she asked and he shook his head and let the firefly out. The sister heard a noise and they both turned to see Boyd wolfed out, “Billy, run. Run!” She said and they took off running through the forest. They found a little shack and they ran inside and locked the door. “He’s gonna get in. He’s gonna get inside.”The little boy whispered afraid as they saw the shadow standing outside of the door. “Shh, Billy. Shh.” The sister said and she covered her little brother’s mouth.

You lost them?”Derek said over the phone,”Yeah, I kind of had to.”I said to him. “Wasn’t exactly the plan.”He said. I sighed, “I know, which is why I think that we should stick together. Trust me; he’s too strong, too fast, and way too angry for one person to handle. We have got to do this together.”I said to Derek. “Look, I’m at the trails by the entrance to the preserve, can you meet me here?” He asked me,”Yeah. I just got to drop something off first.” I said as I glanced down next to me at the two kids I had just saved from almost being a snack for Boyd.

~A couple minutes later.

“Is it them?” I asked Derek as he looked at a set of prints. “We’re not the only ones that decided to stick together.”He said. I sighed, “Is that gonna make it easier or harder to catch them?” I asked. “I don’t know.” He said as he stood up and looked at me. “Derek, I saw Boyd try to rip two little kids apart. Are they gonna do that to everyone they find?” I asked him worried. “Everyone and anyone.” He said.

I parked my car and climbed out and looked around confused. I wasn’t at the store which is where I was planning on going. I slowly walked towards the swimming pool, I saw something that looked like a body floating in the pool,”Oh, god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god, please don’t be dead.” I said quietly as I walked closer to the pool. “Please don’t be dead, please don’t be dead, please don’t be dead.” I said as I stopped at the edge of the pool. “Please don’t be dead, please don’t be dead.” I said as I picked up the net and flipped over the body.”Oh, my god. Are you kidding me?” I breathed out when I saw that it was just a dummy. I turned around,”Oh, god.” I said and I held in a scream as I saw a dead guy sitting on the lifeguard tower, blood was dripping from around his neck and covered his body. I quickly whipped out my phone and dialed 911 and once I was done and told them I hung up and called the only person I knew I could and I knew she would probably be with her boyfriend to…

~Flashback~
“She tried killing you and then your sister when she tried to save you.” I said to Scott. “Uh, yeah.” He said. “Why didn’t either of you tell me?” I asked hurt. “I’ll tell you everything, okay? I’ll tell you anything that you want to know, but right now-“he started but I cut him off, “Just tell me why you guys didn’t tell me.” I said. “We- we couldn’t.” he took a deep breath. “Allison, we couldn’t let that be the last memory that you had of her.” He said. 
~End of flashback~
I continued to set traps in the woods, I wanted to help and thanks to the training I had, I knew just what to do.

~Currently happening in the woods.
“You coming?” This girl asked another girl. “Okay, there is a snake out here the size of a train.” The other girl said freaked out. “Then kick it.” The first girl said. “Uh, yeah, if I kick it, it will swallow my foot and drag me back down to mordor.” The second girl said causing the first one to laugh, “Then jump over it.” The first one said. They walked a little further and they walked up to their camp sight. They crawled into the tent and the second one smiled and looked at the first,”Oh, wow. Nice touch.” She said about the lights. They started to kiss and the first one pulled away, “You’re nervous.” She said to her girlfriend. “You make me nervous.” The second one said. “That a good thing or a bad thing?” she asked, “All good.” She said with a smile and they went to kiss again,”Ooh, that is a mood killer, though.” The second one said as she saw a bugs shadow on top of the tent. The first girl hit it off and turned to her girlfriend, “Better?” she asked. “Better.” The second girl said with a smile and they started to kiss again. The first girl laid her girlfriend back and the second on opened her eyes and screamed, the tent was covered in bugs, “I can’t- I can’t be in here.” The second one said and she climbed out of the tent. “Emily, wait! Emily!” The first girl called out to her girlfriend and climbed out of the tent. She looked around but she couldn't see her girlfriend, “Emily? Emily? Emily, where are you? Emily!” She shouted again and she started to walk through the woods. “Em? Emily, where are you?” she shouted again and then she walked through a brush and saw a girl facing the other way ,”Emily!” she said thinking it was her girlfriend but when the girl turned around she backed up. Cora stood before her in wolf form, the girl back away slowly. And right before Cora attacked her Isaac came out of nowhere and attacked Cora. They fought for a little before Cora tossed Isaac into a tree and then Scott and Derek showed up, Cora saw that she was out number so she took off running and Isaac and Derek ran right after her. Scott turned to the girl, “Are you okay?” he asked her and she looked at him scared and not knowing what just happened. “What?” she asked him. “Are you alright?”He asked and she nodded. “You need to get out of here, okay? Get out of the woods. Get out of here as fast as you can.”Scott said and with that he left her and followed after Isaac and Derek.
